>>Sunnah's of Eid ul Adha<<

Narrated al-Bara (Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) delivering a khutbah saying: “The first thing to be done on this day (first day of Eid-ul-Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allah), and whoever does so, he has acted according to our sunnah. (Kitaabul-‘Eidayn, Bukhari)



Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated on the 10th through 12th day of Dhil Hijjah, the 12th month of the lunar calendar. Many of the rituals related to the Eid directly commemmorate the sacrifices of Hadrat Ibrâhîm (alayhis-salaam) and his family for the sake of Allâh. On the way to the Eid prayer, while waiting for it and on the way back from the prayer one should recite the following takbeer as much as possible:



Allaahu akbar - Allaahu akbar – Laa ilaaha illallaahu – wal-laahu akbar Allaahu akbar wa lil-laahil-hamd
(Allah is the Greatest; Allah is the Greatest; There is no god except Allah; And Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest and for Allah is all praise.)

It is the tradition of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) to go to the prayer by one way and return by another. The takbeer-e-tashreeq above is also to be recited after every fard prayer beginning from the Fajr prayer of the 9th to the ‘Asr prayer of the 13th of Dhil Hijjah (23 times in all). The following actions are also sunnah on the day of Eid:

To clean the teeth with miswaak;
To take a bath;
To adorn oneself and dress in the best clothes that are available and are permitted in Shari’ah;
To use perfume;
To rise early and go to the prayer grounds early;
To walk to the prayer grounds if possible and to recite the takbeer above;
Nothing is to be eaten before the prayer of Eid-ul-Adha, unlike Eid-ul-Fitr;
No (nafl) prayers should be prayed at the Eid prayer ground, neither before or after the Eid prayer.



Procedure of the Eid Prayer

Eid-ul-Adha prayer consists of two raka’ah in congregation. The procedure of the prayer is as follows:

First, make the niyyah for the Eid salaah:



Nawaytu an usallee rak’atayil-waajibi salaata ‘eidil-adhaa ma’a takbeeraatin waajibatin
(I intend to pray 2 raka’ah of waajib prayer of Eid-ul-Adha with the (extra) waajib takbeeraat )

Then the Imam says Allahu akbar (and the followers do so after him). Then the hands are folded as in other prayers and the thana’ is recited:



Subhaanakal-laahum-ma wa bi hamdika wa tabaarakas-muka wa ta’aalaa jad-duka wa laa ilaaha ghairuk
(O Allah! Glory and Praise are for You, and blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty; and there is no god except You.)

Then Allahu akbar is said 3 times, every time raising the hands to the ears and dropping them except the last time when they are folded. Then the Imam recites the Ta’awwudh and Bismillah quietly and then recites Surah Fatiha and another Surah. Then ruku’ and sujood are performed as in other prayers. In the second raka’ah, the Imam recites Bismillah quietly and then Surah Fatiha and another Surah loudly and then says Allahu akbar 3 times, each time raising the hands to the ears and dropping them. Then Allahu akbar is said a fourth time and the congregation goes into ruku’ and finishes the prayer as any other. After the Eid prayer is completed, the Imam stands up and gives two khutbah in Arabic, sitting between them, as was the practice of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam).

An alternate method of performing twelve extra takbeeraat during the prayer, instead of the six extra that are described above, is also permissible: 7 and then 5 extra takbeeraat are performed during the first and second raka’ah respectively (Umdatus-Saalik, Shafi’ madhhab).



Selected Traditions from Sahih-al-Bukhari: The Chapter of the Two Eids.

• Narrated Aisha (Radiyallaahu ‘anhaa) that Allah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) said: “There is an Eid for every nation and this is our Eid.”

• Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (Radiyallaahu ‘anhu) that Allah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) used to offer the prayer of Eid-ul-Adha and Eid-ul-Fitr and then deliver the khutbah after the prayer.

• Narrated Ibn Abbaas (Radiyallaahu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) said: “No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first 10 days of Dhil Hijjah).” Then some companions of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) said, “Not even jihaad?” He replied, “Not even jihaad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah’s sake) and does not return with any of those things.”

• Narrated Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (Radiyallaahu ‘anhu): On the day of ‘Eid, the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) used to return (from the prayer) through a way different from that by which he went.

• Narrated ‘Urwa on the authority of ‘Aisha (Radiyallaahu ‘anhaa) that on the days of Minaa (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhil Hijjah) Abu Bakr (Radiyallaahu ‘anhu) came to her while two girls were beating the tambourine and the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) was lying covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr (Radiyallaahu ‘anhu) scolded them and the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa sallam) uncovered his face and said to Abu Bakr, “Leave them, for these days are the days of Eid and the days of Minaa.”

What's wrong with mine?

I hope my one isn't wrong or anything....it was from a trustable source....

Try again, it works now.

salam
the word is trustworthy bro
and its not a competition, its always good to have different variety of info
wasalam

ohhhh.......ok i get it......sorry bros..........

salam
jazakallah for that bro, this will be useful to those who don't know how to perform the prayer
wasalam

Yeah....needs a bit more info on what to do before the prayer itself.....

But i suppose it will suffice

One thing i would like to add is that this prayer can NOT be offered separately unlike other Faraz prayer. I must be offered with Immam and one should try to be in time so that he may miss no Takbeer and start with Takbeer e tehreema (Stating Takbeer). Secondly these prayer have social espact vivid than spritual (it does not mean they don't add to spritual aspects).
Wallah o Aalam

^ true say,

but this prayer isnt fardh, its waajib.
n one who misses the takbeers in the beginning is asked to say them as soon as he join the salaah, n then continue wid the imaam.

Allahu A'lam

jazkallah for the info bro
